Sabbath Rest

When will we learn that we can not run relentlessly day in and day out, 24/7, and expect perfection in our performance? When exhaustion and fatique shackle our efficiency and we beat ourselves up because we feel we are not accomplishing enough, where does it end and what is the answer? Our internal batteries also need re-charging and refreshing which is why the Lord rested on the seventh day, called the Sabbath. it is so hard to shut down and disengage our minds and bodies and just listen. Our subconcious is trying to answer the pressing questions but we are unwilling to listen.....just listen. Meditation, prayer or what ever you call it activates the GPS in our spirit if we will allow it by being still if only for a few minutes! Peace, tranquillity, energy, passion, focus and excitement are the fruits of a few still minutes of openness. Have you ever asked your father a question then turned and ran out of his den before he had the chance to answer? Of course not, but we do it daily with our Heavenly Father or what ever Higher Power you may believe in. If everyone would rest on the 7th day and spend 15 minutes everday LISTENING quietly, our world, families, businesses, relationships, and every other area of our lives would drastically inprove and enrichen the lives of those around us. Sleep well, Listen well, Love well.
